Hell yeah nice job. I used NUCs but they are older gen and came without any SSD/ram/OS. So they were pretty cheap and I like the minimal form factor and power usage. And can't recommend rocket pool enough, they're docs are fantastic
Its a possible concern with regards to security, but I might recommend it installing tailscale. That way you can easily ssh into your node from anywhere while still being locked down and don't need to worry about it's IP changing.
🤍 your project, thanks for sharing (and good luck :-))
Rocket Pool is so satisfying to work with! I got a barebone Ryzen based NUC fra Asus and installed ram and nvme myself. Didn't remove the wifi which I regret, but now it's attesting so not gonna turn it off to fix that. On that note I highly recommend to fine tune everything before your node goes live, because once it does it has to attest every 6 min on average. Doesn't cost too much to take it offline, but nice to avoid. I am also happy I ran a node on testnet before I went ahead with the real stuff. Good luck! Gonna follow your journey 🤓
